DVD Drive Problem
My DVD Drive that had been in my Desktop PC for a few years would no longer read the DVD's. The drive light would come on and the door would open, but no reading. I decided to buy a new drive. I installed it, the light works but the door does not open. I have pushed the button and also in Computer I clicked on the Eject in the Properties Menu. Nothing. I figured a bad drive and returned it and got a different brand. It is the same thing, the light works but the door won't open with neither the button nor by clicking the eject menu. I was able to open it in the Manual Release with a paper clip and put a DVD in it but it does not read it as in Computer it says "Please insert a DVD". I changed the Sata cable and used a different port on the Motherboard, no luck. == I now figure my original drive was OK and the PC just does not read the discs. The strange thing is about the door not opening. Anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks,
